LETTER: Law requires state to provide free ID

Dear Editor: Regarding Louise Reynolds’ letter to the editor about free photo IDs for voters, the Alabama voter photo ID law doesn’t go into effect until 2014. The poll worker who required a photo ID should have been informed of that and the voter should have gone to the inspector of the polling place, reported this and at the very least been allowed to cast a provisional ballot.When the voter photo ID law does go into effect, it requires the state to provide a free photo ID to everyone who applies for one.I suggest that the letter writer and everyone become familiar with the provisions of the voter photo ID law before criticizing it.
